Impact

The resolution serves to officially recognize and honor the team and its coaching staff for their hard work and dedication which culminated in their championship victory. It underscores the importance of youth sports and recognizes the efforts of not only the athletes but also the coaches and community members who support them. By commending these achievements, the Senate seeks to promote a positive message regarding the value of extracurricular activities in schools.

Summary

Senate Resolution 21 is a commendation passed by the Mississippi Senate recognizing the achievements of the Brandon High School 'Lady Bulldogs' Cheerleading Team. The resolution acknowledges the team for winning the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) National Championship, specifically in the Advanced Large Game Performance Category during a competition held in January 2022. The resolution reflects the pride of the Senate in the accomplishments of local student athletes and their contributions to school spirit and community engagement.

Sentiment

The sentiment around SR21 is overwhelmingly positive, as it highlights academic and athletic excellence among youth. Legislators, as well as the local community, express pride and support for the cheerleading team, seeing their victory as not only a personal achievement for the athletes but also as an honor for the school and the state. The resolution reflects a sense of unity and celebration of local talent.

Contention

There appear to be minimal points of contention related to the resolution itself, as it is primarily celebratory in nature. However, discussions around similar resolutions could lead to broader conversations about funding and support for school sports programs, especially in the context of equity and access for all student athletes in Mississippi. SR21 focuses specifically on acknowledging the cheerleading team's success, thus keeping the discourse celebratory rather than contentious.
